Let’s talk about imposter syndrome

We know it’s real, especially for women starting out in tech.

“Am I technical enough?”
“Do I need more experience first?”
“Will I be the only one like me?”

You’re not alone in those thoughts and you don’t need to have it all figured out. At FDM, we don’t expect perfection. We look for potential. If you’re willing to learn, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
